The Encanto's Daughter has beautiful cover art that will surely attract attention on the shelves at the bookstore or library.
The main character is MJ Rodriguez, a princess in hiding in the human world. When insurgents come looking for her at school, she narrowly escapes and is taken to an ally. There MJ learns a painful truth and her path forward is laid before her.
Overall, the beginning of the book is too abrupt. Readers are thrown into MJ's story without knowing what is transpiring. This does mirror MJ's own experience, but it is a difficult way to get readers to forge a connection with the character or her story. I would be curious to see where the plot goes, so I would look for it at my local library.
